The invention discloses a carbon
fiber prepreg laying layer defect detection method and
system based on nonlinear guided
waves, and the method comprises the steps: arranging excitation and receiving sensor arrays at the inner side and the outer side of a carbon
fiber prepreg region, transmitting Hanning window modulation
sine wave signals through the excitation sensor arrays, arranging an acoustic
metamaterial layer on the surface of a detection region, and detecting the defects of the carbon
fiber prepreg laying layer through the acoustic
metamaterial layer. An excitation
sensor array is divided into two groups to emit different phase signals, so that wave beams are focused at specified positions in a detection area and interact with each other,
normalized time-
frequency analysis is performed on reference signals and to-be-detected signals, second
harmonic components and
sideband frequency components are extracted, a relative
nonlinear coefficient is calculated based on a
signal difference value, and the relative
nonlinear coefficient is calculated. And
processing and receiving
full matrix data of the
sensor array by adopting a full focusing method, and reconstructing a
nonlinear coefficient distribution image in the carbon fiber prepreg to carry out defect positioning and quantitative evaluation on the acoustic
metamaterial layer. According to the invention, accurate and reliable detection and early warning of micro-defects in the carbon fiber prepreg laying process are realized.
